O sing a new song to the LORD
For wonders He has done;
By His right hand and holy arm
He victory has won.

The LORD's salvation is revealed
For He has made it known;
He to the nations of the world
His righteousness has shown.

He called to mind His faithfulness,
His love to Isr'el's house;
The great salvation of our God
Is seen the earth throughout.

O all the earth, shout to the LORD,
And make a joyful sound.
Lift up your voice aloud to Him;
Sing praise, let joy resound.

Make music to the LORD with harps;
With harps your praises sing.
With horn and trumpets shout with joy
Before the LORD, the King.

Let sea and land and all they hold
Resound with one accord.
Let rivers clap, let mountains sing
For joy before the LORD.

For He shall come, He surely comes
The judge of earth to be;
He'll judge the world with righteousness,
And all with equity.

My God, My God, O why have You forsaken Me?

All who see me laugh at me, they mock me and they shake their heads:    
“He relied on the Lord, let the Lord be his refuge.”

As dogs around me, they circle me about.    
Wounded me and pierced me, I can number all my bones.

My clothing they divided, for my garments casting lots,    
O Lord, do not desert me, but hasten to my aid.

I will praise you to my people, and proclaim you in their midst,    
O fear the Lord, my people, give glory to God’s name.

John 9

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only-begotten Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hades.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits
at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He shall come to judge
the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

 Sing of the Lord’s goodness,
Father of all wisdom,
Come to Him and bless His name.
Mercy He has shown us,
His love is forever,
Faithful to the end of days.

Come, then, all you nations,
Sing of your Lord’s goodness,
Melodies of praise and thanks to God.
Ring out the Lord’s glory,
Praise Him with your music,
Worship Him and bless His name.

Power He has wielded,
Honor is His garment,
Risen from the snares of death.
His word He has spoken,
One bread He has broken,
New life He now gives to all.

Courage in our darkness,
Comfort in our sorrow,
Spirit of our God Most High;
Solace for the weary,
Pardon for the sinner,
Splendor of the living God.

Praise Him with your singing,
Praise Him with the trumpet,
Praise God with the lute and harp;
Praise Him with the cymbals,
Praise Him with your dancing,
Praise God till the end of days.

Once in the wilderness of our sin
We wandered lost and without hope
Into our desert waste God in grace
Came to restore and bring us home
Let the redeemed of God rise up and sing

We give thanks O God for Your steadfast love
We give thanks O God for You are good
Lord You are good we give thanks

Through every pain and trial You provide
Light in the dark of our distress
Lifting us from on high when we cry
Turning our grief to gratefulness
Let the redeemed of God rise up and sing

You take the darkness and make it as light
Hearts that were dead in sin You raise to life
You take a barren place and make it a spring
Let the redeemed of God rise up and sing
Let the redeemed of God rise up and sing

I will sing to the Lord
He has triumphed gloriously
Bared His arm, drew His sword
Threw them all into the sea
My father’s God is strong
He is my strength, my song
He’s my salvation

Pharaoh’s might, Egypt’s hosts
By the waves were overthrown
All the strength they could boast
Sank before us like a stone
The horse and rider, He
Has cast into the sea
He’s our salvation

Who is like the Lord—
Mighty God, a man of war?
Who is like the Lord—
Awesome in His deeds?

A people You have redeemed
Will honor You as king
For You have shown them Your power to save
And by the strength of Your love
They’ll dwell secure above
High on the mountain of God always
Always

With a blast of His breath
As the waves stood in a heap
We were led, safe from death
Through the canyons of the deep
When Pharaoh said “Pursue!”
Your Spirit overthrew
His mighty nation

Let the earth stand in fear
Let their proud hearts melt away
When they see, when they hear
What the Lord has done today
When Egypt meant us harm
You bared a righteous arm
For our salvation

Who is like the Lord—
Mighty God, a man of war?
Who is like the Lord—
Awesome in His deeds?

Refrain 2x

Sing unto the Lord He has triumphed gloriously
The horse and rider He has thrown into the sea
(repeat)

Pastor Tim Bayly

Take and eat; take and eat:
this is my body given up for you.
Take and drink; take and drink:
this is my blood given up for you.

I am the Word that spoke and light was made;
I am the seed that died to be reborn;
I am the bread that comes from heav'n above;
I am the vine that fills your cup with joy.

I am the way that leads the exile home;
I am the truth that sets the captive free;
I am the life that raises up the dead;
I am your peace, true peace my gift to you.

I am the Lamb that takes away your sin;
I am the gate that guards you night and day;
You are my flock: you know the shepherd's voice;
You are my own: your ransom is my blood.

I am the cornerstone that God has laid;
A chosen stone and precious in his eyes;
You are God's dwelling place, on me you rest;
Like living stones, a temple for God's praise.

I am the light that came into the world;
I am the light that darkness cannot hide;
I am the morning star that never sets;
Lift up your face, in you my light will shine.

I am the first and last, the Living One;
I am the Lord who died that you might live;
I am the bridegroom, this my wedding song;
You are my bride, come to the marriage feast.
